Mind-Boggling Mexican Town Looks Uphill But is Really Downhill and Vice Versa
This is the Xsenses Park by XCaret in Playa del Carmen Mexico near Cancun. If things look a bit strange, that's because they are. In Xsenses, uphill is downhill, and downhill is uphill.
Completely unique as an idea for a theme park, Xsenses will mess with your head and your perception. "I got disoriented just watching from the comfort of my bed!" one person commented. "My brain can not compute" someone else remarked.
The secret of Xsenses park is in the architecture. "I've been here 3 times, this street is actually completely flat!" one person revealed. "It's a fantastic illusion! The whole park is amazing!" With every building and street built on the same opposite slant, our brains naturally assume that everything is status quo when it's not, especially on video. You can even see water running opposite the direction you would expect. "Imagine being drunk there!" one person joked.
